Schools in China, Singapore and Hong Kong sit within the top 10 for most expensive international school fees worldwide. China rose 2 spots to the top this year, propelled by a 16% increase in annual charges which has surpassed ¥230,000. Yearly international school fees around the world Rank Country Rank Country 1 China 6 Canada 2 Switzerland 7 Italy 3 Belgium 8 Germany 4 United Kingdom 9 Hong Kong 5 Singapore 10 France Source: ExpatFinder, International School Fee Survey 2018 Additional costs to consider Aside from school fees, there are a number of extra expenses you will incur, including: • school meals and bus transport; • school uniforms, textbooks, stationeries, and other learning resources; • examination fees; and • extra-curricular activities, excursions and overseas field trips. In total, these expenses could easily set you back by another several thousand yuan per child per year. How we can help With the increasing cost of living, we can expect international school fees to be consistently trending upwards and with interest rates remaining at all-time lows, it is sensible to ensure that your income and investments are working as hard as possible for you. Ultimately, it is important that you are offering your children the best possible start by giving them access to the best educational opportunities available.

    “YK Pao, My Father” by Anna Pao Sohmen Order Form for Signed Book Number of books required__________________ Total payment (HKD 250/book)_____________ All the proceeds will go towards a Hong Kong scholarship at YK Pao School, which was founded by Anna Pao Sohmen and her son Philip in memory of Sir YK Pao and in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Return of Hong Kong to China. The primary division is a day school in Changning District near the French concession. The secondary division is a boarding school in Thames Town, outside Shanghai city. It will have 900 students in the coming September, out of which the majority is mainland students and 35% are from overseas, including Hong Kong. YK Pao School is a non-profit Chinese school. With an integrated Chinese and IB curriculum, the school emphasizes the Chinese language and culture, while preparing all rounded students for the global stage. Thanks to the support of Anna Pao Sohmen’s husband, Helmut Sohmen, and her three sisters, Bessie, Cissy and Doreen Pao, YK Pao School has been equipped with some of the best facilities. The School also endeavours to attain 20% scholarships and aid students in order to make this education accessible to those talented. It costs 1.4 million RMB to educate a student for seven years in the secondary boarding school. We have already established 6 scholarships for students from different parts of China. Now we would like to give a scholarship to an outstanding Hong Kong student to attend the secondary boarding school in Shanghai.

With more than 20 million inhabi- tants, Shanghai has more people than New Zealand. The most important entry point into mainland China, this sophisticated, international city attracts visitors and expats who shop the bustling markets of Nanjing Road, jog along the river beneath the Pearl Tower, enjoy the lights of old Shanghai while dining at M on the Bund,A visit the Yuyuan Garden, or take tea in the afternoon charm of the French Concession. Shanghai, literally “city on the sea,” began as a fishing village at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The growth of cotton and textile markets made it a small town in the 13th century. Over the next few centuries, Shanghai’s location on the East and South China seas drew interna- tional attention, and it became one of China’s most important seaports. Foreign investment and development contributed to Shanghai’s growth into the multicultural megalopolis that it is today. Shanghai is considered the commercial and financial capital of China. British, French, and American presence has had a strong influence on life and attracted expatriates from all over the world.
